Persona 3 FES Ships to North America

Atlus U.S.A., Inc. today announced that Persona 3 FES, a stand-alone RPG for PS2 which does not require the original Persona 3 to play, has shipped to retail across North America. Persona 3 FES expands the original game with more than 30 hours of gameplay offering new content and features. Players with save files from the original game are able to transfer some of their saved data, such as their Persona compendium, to be used in the enhanced main story. The new story is accessible from the start and does not require players to finish the original game beforehand.
